Yes a Railway Ran here
Hard to believe but 50 year have taken their toll on the old M&GN system. The line from Lynn to Melton Constable via Fakenham closed in 1959. Now it is overgrown (I didn't need to tell you that though!).

Bridge 1714 over the River Wensum
A nice bridge over the River Wensum, looking more like a small viaduct. This was bought last year by Giles de Lotbinière, managing director of Brandon firm Lignacite, securing the land at auction on February 17 with a winning bid of £12,000. Not that he can do anything with it though (and it seems this has happened) as it is protected trackbed.

Wells to Wymondham Branchline
A view, looking towards Wymondham. This is a short section of the trackbed between bridge 1715 (behind me) and 1714 (in front). Fakenham East Station is only a short walk from here. The land is protected from development due to possible re instatement.
